LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky kicks off the weekend with cloudy skies and a chill in the air, along with a few light showers across the southern and eastern parts of the state.

A weak storm system moving east across the Tennessee Valley will bring isolated light rain late Friday into early Saturday, mainly near the Tennessee border. The precipitation is expected to be minor, only enough to dampen the ground.

Weekend Forecast

  • Temperatures: 30s in northern Kentucky, climbing toward 50 in southern and western areas.

  • Sky Conditions: Mix of clouds and occasional breaks of sunshine.

  • Overall: Quiet and seasonable for early January.

Looking Ahead

  • Sunday into Early Next Week: Milder air builds in, pushing temperatures above normal.

  • Rain Chances: Dry conditions expected through Tuesday, giving residents several nice days before another round of showers later in the week.

Bottom Line: A few light showers to start the weekend, calm and cool through the weekend, then warmer and wetter conditions expected next week.

Have a great Friday!
